Hellobee Boards

We are staying at Beach Club villas in March and are super pumped! We picked it because the theming was the most appealing. Being able to walk to two parks will be huge. We really like Epcot and actually spend more time there than MK. I also like that it's close to the Boardwalk. The pool area is out of this world, with a sand bottom section, sandbar for kids to play on, lazy river, and huge water slide.

We stayed at Bay Lake Tower due to Magic Kingdom/monorail proximity and it was great! We wanted easy back and forth because our kids were very young and we needed to go back for naps.

@SeptMomma12: I would say Bay Lake towers, too. That was my first choice, absolutely, but they only had 1 bedrooms for the week we are going and we are taking my in-laws, so although I went back and forth (because the sofa bed and chair in the living room do make beds), I just thought it might be too cramped in a 1 bedroom, so then we settled for Boardwalk where we could get 2 bedrooms. They have been renovated, so that's a goodtthing.

I feel like a diva saying "settled" for Boardwalk, because everyone that has been there has said it's great.

I feel like I researched obsessively, and for our needs, Bay Lake Tower was most convenient--walk to Magic Kingdom, Monorail to the other monorail resorts for dining options, monorail to Epcot, boat the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness (where Hoop de Doo review is). And then bus to HS and Animal Kingdom.

Wilderness Lodge looked nice, but I kept reading negative reviews about its transportation to the theme parks--apparently sometimes the boats are late or too full or don't come often, and then it's busses everywhere else.

SO my second and third choices were Beach Club and Boardwalk, because you can walk to Epcot and HS (or take boats), and bus to the other theme parks. They both have nice pools, but the Beach Club pool is enormous, so it has the edge for me.

Eta: and we booked using the points through the Dave's website and they were very responsive and easy to work with. I'll report back after we actually go.
